The rights ar the wrongs of the license system ars not here
being discussed. Wear, dwelling solely on the question of TAXATION,
viewed from & purely business standpoint. What, therefore, wifl he
the condition of things under Locat Option P Nobody will deny the
entire loss of the feeknor of the liquor fit*? e,becense reseal Option puts
them cletin out of business. Then it is reasonable to claim that the
Waverly, Grahem and Commerciel Hotels will also he pot out of bust -
inept. Likewise the value of the remaining hotels • will be
exactly cut in half, Why ?• Simply beeeteteeunder license
law, and a good guarantee of a continuance of the
same the property above set down ni assessed for
$25450, would he accepted by any capitelist ae* good security for a 'loin
of $15000. Remove the license and bring in Local Option, and that
same property is relegated to the level of ordinary dwelling liouses..•l
It has no commercial value. Whyshould it have P Dees ler, Smith's
house occupied bp himself and family on e. street, possess any greatas
or less value than Mr. Brown's house next door similar in all respects. •
to Ur. Smith's, except that Mr. arown•hinoself, family and a hoarder
or hoarders occupy it? Take away a license and * hotel is nothing
hot a dwelling tutus*, • that may or may- not take boarders. This is
proven by the fact that directly it...Hoene* is withdrawn from any hotel,
insurance ceases ; except on equivalent valuation to &dwelling houee.
capital has no sentiment, -capital is 'cautious, capita"l is no enthusias-

At abeet neon on Christ:now Day,
Nre joint 13rittoe, one Of the best•
known and mime highly respeeted of
the pioneers of the township cif
IEullett, passed, into rot eternal.
Ile Was born In Yorkshire England,
in March Ise and whet !two yea
of age his parents emigrated to thr:
United States and for five years
lived in the State of New York. They
the moved to the township of Hull-
ett awl took up lot seven on the eev-
euth concession,- They were the
riot etettlers on that line for that
waa sixty years ago. Their lot was
that of the hardy pioneers to whom
thie country owes so much and after
yeas ot patient industry .thee hewed
out of the forest primeval a comfort-
able home for themselves And family.
In the fullness of time they •departed
this life, and their sons the subject of
this brief obituary, took up the bur-
den where they laid it down. As the
years passed along the eleaxing wid-
ened and to the original one -hundred
acres two -hundred more were added,
and the farm became one ot the most
valuable in the township,
Mr. Britton shirked mine el ills
responsibilities of citizenship. E'er
twenty years he served in the town-
ship councils, for several tome as
reeve, and „finally, reached, what is
with eo many men the culmination ot
their municipal career -the warden's
chair. Of Mr Britton it has always
been said that he served the township
and the county ably and well.
He joined the Canadian Order' of
Foresters when a Court was establish-
ed at Londesbore, and later was a
charter member of the Constance
Court. He occupied tbe highest posi-
tions ie the gift of the brethern and
advanced the interests of Forestry
whenever the. temortunity Presented
itself.
In school mat!, rs, too, Mr, Britton
always lent a lisiping hand and for
thirty years he was ernstee of 'section
number three, For lmost as long
and up to Ms death he was the sec.-,
treasurer of the section. .
In politics Mr. Britton was a•
staunch Conservatiee and Inc wise
coimeel was .appreciated in the. num-
erous contests whih1 have been 'wag-
ed in this empty in the past forty
years. • • ,
He was On active rnemeer of the
Constance Methodist church for many
years end was oxie of the office -
bearers. •
TO -mourn the departure of her be-
loved husband Mrs Britton survives,
together with their., two sons and as
many daughters: Edwin on•the home-
stead; William on the adjoining ferme
Mo. Edwin .Emmersonesnear Stotiff-
ville, and Mrs. M. D. Weir Of Kinis-
tieo, Sask., all of es vshora were pres-
ent at 'the. funeral; which took place
on Tuesday afternoon to • Constance'
cemetery. . •
To show their respect for the de-
parted and their sympathy. for the
bereaved family there -was a vary
large attendance ofold friehds and
relatives. The seryleeS at house and

A Milwaukee mart and Inc wife re.

man style, the wife seizing a favor-
able opportuhity, whispered to her
husband ;
"We have only three bottles Of
beer le the house-iust enough to. go
around. Don't ask him to have
more,"
"Very well," answered the husb-
and, who chanced to be thinking • of
something else at the time,
Han aa hour later the 'host, to his
wife's consternation, asked the guest
to hair° more beer. The invitation
was politely declined, but still the
host did tot desist. A dozen titnes
the caller was urged to drink;
dozen times he firmly refused. .
When he had departed the wife
took her husband to task."What On
earth made you persist so? Didn't
tell you there Were only three bot.
ties? Why did you insist upon his
having snore beer, snore beer, more
beer." '
"Mercy !" eXelai.Med the husband,
"I forgot entirely."
" hut" -continued tho Wife, "Why
did you ammo I Was kicking you
under the table ?"
"My dear," blandly replied the
husband, "you didli't klek me."
